EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
COMPLETE HISTORY OF BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILURES ON THIS VEHICLE: AT 68702 MILES. A POLICE OFFICER ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THE ORIGINAL BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH (P/N 15686968 4047) WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW SWITCH (P/N 12450076 7507 - DEALER SAID THAT THIS PART NUMBER REPLACE THE ORIGINAL PART). I DISASSEMBLE THE FAILED PART AND FOUND HEAVY ARC-DEPOSITS ON THE CONTACTS. LATER I WAS NOTIFIED BY GMC OF A RECALL CAMPAIGN ON THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THE NOTIFICATION STATED THAT UNDER THIS RECALL THE DEALER WOULD REPLACE THE EXISTING SWITCH AND CHANGE THE POLARITY. AT 109536 MILES THE SWITCH WAS AGAIN REPLACED VIA THE RECALL (P/N 1250076 7164) AND I WAS REIMBURSED FOR THE EARLIER PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT SWITCH. AT 131925 MILES ANOTHER DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I CONTACTED GMC (A LOCAL DEALER AND CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE) TO INFORM THEM THAT THE "CORRECTIVE ACTION" MADE DURING THEIR RECALL HAD NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY WERE ONLY REQUIRED TO FIX IT ONCE AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SWITCH AGAIN AT NO COST TO ME. I PURCHASED A NEW SWITCH (P/N 1250076 9074 XY), AND REPLACED THE FAILED SWITCH AT 132069 MILES. SINCE I ANTICIPATE THAT THE NEW SWITCH WILL EVENTUALLY CEASE TO FUNCTION TOO, I HAVE INSTALLED AN INTERIOR INDICATOR SO THAT I WILL KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN (WITHOUT THE RISK OF A COLLISION). DISASSEMBLE OF THE RECENTLY FAILED SWITCH REVEALED THAT THE CONTACTS WERE CONTAMINATED WITH ARC-DEPOSITS AS IN THE CASE OF THE ORIGINAL SWITCH. I DESIRE THAT GMC FINALLY FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THAT THEY REIMBURSE ME FOR THE SWITCH THAT I JUST PURCHASED.*AK
